HammerPay (USA) Ltd., a subsidiary of Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. (HMMR), is preparing to reach a significant growth milestone in the Fintech sector
New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – May 29, 2024) – Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. (OTC Pink: HMMR) has undertaken a broad restructuring initiative, transforming itself from a traditional telecommunications entity into a diversified holding company with a focus on financial technology (FinTech) innovations. This strategic pivot is designed to strengthen shareholder confidence and create strong, profitable business centers.
The company leveraged its newly acquired financial and management skills to achieve its goals. The mission is clear: elevate overall performance and transparency through dynamic media communications that enable stakeholders and customers to connect with the company in more powerful ways.
At the heart of Hammer Group’s diversification strategy is its pioneering subsidiary, HammerPay (USA) Ltd. This FinTech innovator has developed a revolutionary digital wallet and neo-banking ecosystem aimed at transforming digital banking for the unbanked population all over the world. The journey began with the August 2023 launch of the UBA Remit Wallet in partnership with the United Bank of Africa (UBA) in Liberia. This innovative collaboration laid the foundation for an ambitious expansion.
“Building on the success of the pilot program in Liberia, HammerPay is on an aggressive mission to sign up new banking partners and customers, extending its presence across Africa and beyond,” said Michael Cothill, executive chairman of Hammer. “The recent partnership with local ISP, Spectrum Communications – Liberia, highlights this strategic expansion to meet the diverse financial needs of consumers and businesses with unprecedented convenience, security and accessibility.”
With its versatile and scalable platform, HammerPay seeks to become a dominant force in the global FinTech landscape. The company is paving the way for exponential growth and far-reaching impact. Gerald Sherman, CEO of HammerPay, added “We are thrilled to announce the expansion of HammerPay, a testament to our dedication to innovation and customer-centric service. By signing new banking partners and customers, we are not only strengthening our presence in Liberia but also unlocking new opportunities across Africa. We are excited to embark on this journey to connect with our customers and offer millions of individuals and businesses seamless, secure and accessible financial solutions.”
To fuel its technology initiatives, the company’s board of directors approved a strategy, previously announced in a letter to shareholders, to divest its telecommunications business. This restructuring will allow the company to repurchase its shares while generating additional funds for technological advancements, minimizing dilution for common shareholders. With HammerPay’s revenues increasing and plans to transition its FinTech ventures to a larger, more liquid senior exchange, the company expects a significant increase in profitability and increased capital availability. By leveraging FinTech innovations and expanding into new markets, Hammer Group is not only poised for growth, but poised to have a lasting impact on the global financial landscape.

Lloyds and Nationwide invest in Scottish fintech AI Aveni
Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide have joined an £11m Series A funding round in Scottish artificial intelligence fintech Aveni.
The investment is led by Puma Private Equity with additional participation from Par Equity.
Aveni creates AI products specifically designed to streamline workflows in the financial services industry by analyzing documents and meetings across a range of operational functions, with a focus on financial advisory services and consumer compliance.
The cash injection will help fund the development of a new product, FinLLM, a large-scale language model created specifically for the financial sector in partnership with Lloyds and Nationwide.
Joseph Twigg, CEO of Aveni, explains: “The financial services industry doesn’t need AI models that can quote Shakespeare, it needs AI models that offer transparency, trust and, most importantly, fairness. The way to achieve this is to develop small, highly tuned language models, trained on financial services data, vetted by financial services experts for specific financial services use cases.
“FinLLM’s goal is to set a new standard for the controlled, responsible and ethical adoption of generative AI, outperforming all other generic models in our selected financial services use cases.”
Robin Scher, head of fintech investment at Lloyds Banking Group, says the development programme offers a “massive opportunity” for the financial services industry by streamlining operations and improving customer experience.
“We look forward to supporting Aveni’s growth as we invest in their vision of developing FinLLM together with partners. Our collaboration aims to establish Aveni as a forerunner in AI adoption in the industry, while maintaining a focus on responsible use and customer centricity,” he said.
